Paul,

My understanding has always been that a new version of an interface would
result in a new tModel.

I cannot point to any explicit guidance in the UDDI specifications regarding
this but if you look at appendix K of the UDDI Version 3 Specification you
will see, for example in section K.4.1, instances where the different
versions of the UDDI interfaces/APIs are represented by three different
bindingTemplates for a particular service, one for each version of the
interface/API.  These different bindingTemplates reference different
tModels, again one for each version.
